Sex and the Christian WomanExemplo

2. Understand the Cost

Choosing to be sexually active does bring a great cost to the individual and the relationship. We carry every sexual partner we ever have for the rest of our lives. Do we really want to bring several or many people, or even just one other person, into our marriage bedroom? This will cost us baggage and tension in the most important human relationship we will have—our marriage. This does not even consider the very real possibility of an unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. God knows that it costs us something to be sexually active before marriage, and that cost is simply too high.

If you have not engaged in sex before marriage, what boundaries have you set up in your personal life in order to remain pure?
